Here and There.

By order of the San Franciso super
visors the historic "Sand Lot " is to be
planted in peaceful clover. Kearney,
the terror, now keeps an intelligence
office for cooks and washerwomen !;
Fiery Wellick is patching shoes in
Omaha; Glib Dunn has fallen from
paid patriotism to paying office, and
is now State controller BlOod-and-
Thunder Stretcher is quiet rancher !;
Orator Knidny is dead; and Wild
O'Donnell pursues the quiet paths of
surgery. The Chinese are still in San
Francisco, 40, 600 strong, but the Sand
Letters have gone, and now the Sand Lot
must go too.
While making an excavation at Chi
co, Cal, lately, the ground gave way
beneath the wOrkmen and they fell
eight feet into a tomb walled with
hewn stone, the top being covered WITH
slabs of stone, one of which = work
mans pick had broken. Ranged
around the walls of the cavern We're
several odd-shaped earthenware jars
with grotesque decorations i'll black,
some of which contained bones, evil
IDENTIFY Of the deer and other animals.
In one corner Of the place were pOr-
tions of skeleton, which, Judging from
the size of femur found, must have
belonged to a very large and powerful
man. But little of the skeleton was
left. The skull was crushed in Mt the
back, showing that the man had met
with violent death. Scattered
around the floor near the skeleton were
a number of rudely-made ornaments,
an axe of black obsidian, and few
arrow-heads. The articles were boxed
up, the Inscriptions copied, and the
tomb sealed until the whole matter
can be properly investigated by arch
biologists.
A Brooklyn man named Lewis Mas
querier, aged ninety, has had a tomb
erected for himself, aid will have it
dedicated by Colonel Ingersoll and
others on June 9Th. The monument has
long attracted the attention OF visitors
to Cypress-Hills cemetery from its
odd shape, and the inscriptions are
strikingly peculiar. The stone is
Quincy granite, Is feet high, and is
surmounted with monster Bartholdi
statue in bronze. Instead of a torch
in "Llberty's" hand there is globe,
on the surface of which the divisions OF
the earth have been marked according
to Mr.. Masquerier's own peculiar ideas.
Three blocks OF polished granite form
the shaft, and the sides are covered with
inscriptions. One side is partially
filed cut and inscribed to his memory,
and blank space is left for the date of
his death. The names of the works
that the old gentleman has written are
on the monument, as is also his origi-
nal system of phonetic spelling. The
monument has cost several hundred
dollars and the cutting of the letters
has been attended with considerable
expense. 1t has as much lettering on
it as any ten stones in Cypross-Hills
cemetery.

The salo OF Sandringham TO the
Prince Consort for the use of his eldest

"iob." The place belonged to a no

widow of the celebrated Count d'Orsay
and The daughter OF the Karl OF Bless
inpton. The estate was in a frightiul
condition, the house small and ready to
tum bic down. but nevertheless Lord
PalmerStOD, the uncle Of the Hon.
Spencer Cowper, persuaded the Prince

weep profusely over any tale OF woe,
no matter how remote IL might DO from
his own time and environment. &c

asked the cause he said he was think

You can gather from the above what
kind Of heavy villain De Bulge was

One night when the play was Will

the hero of Switzerland.
De Fudge had been bu1ging pretty
heavily during the afternoon, and when

for his part ID was observed that he was
full. However, he managed to pull
through very well until they came to
the scene where Tell is commanded to
shoot the apple from his child's head.
"Ferocious monster exclaimed
Tell. "Make father murder his own
child ?"
De Budgc's chin began to culver, but
he managed to stammer
"D-d-does he consent ?"
Tell "With his own hand! Murder
his child with bis own hand !"
De Budge's eyes filed with tears,
and it was evident to those who knew
him that he would soon begin to blub-

Tell "Ihe hand I've led him when

that the paroxysm would pass over,

gether. A change OF three or four feet
in The level Of these great lakes implies
q difference in the amount of water too
great to be fully understood and appre-
ciatcd. The other lakes necessarily par
ticipate in these fluctuations; but these
appear to be most marked in Lake
Michigan.
Their cause is not yet wholly under
stood. Various theories have been adj
yanced to account for them--even to
the absurd extent Of connecting them
with the ocean tidal movements. But
far simpler explanation seems more
probable. 1t would seem as If the
higher level in Lake Michigan in sum-
mer and autumn may be caused by the
spring and summer rains and late melt
ing SHOWS Of the vast Canadian water
shed which feeds Lake Superior with
its rushing streams and copious rivers.
In that immense lake q rise OF a single
foot is equivalent to much greater
rise in the lesser lakes OF the great sys-
TEN. Tint the fluctuations should be
irregular, showing a far greater level
in some years than in Others. might
well be due to the varying quantities of
May and June rain in different years,
and to the greater quantities OF snow
remaining in those hyperborean lati-
tudes to be duly transformed, in May
and June, into water. OF course the
influx received by the larger lake would
be far less in winter and hence the
lakes would be lowest in winter and
highest in summer and autumn. What
ever the cause may be, the occurrence
itself of these large fluctuations lin
the levels Of such vast bodies of water
is one of the striking facts in the worlds
greatest fresC-water system, and well
worthy of philosophical examination.
That lake and river system perhaps
il might be called all one great river,
two thousand miles long-is the most
intcrC sting one on the globe. Its
greatest expansion-the vast Lake Su-
perior-is at a level of over 600 feet
above the sea lake whose area is
81 SEQ square miles in extent, and
whose depth is a thousand feet. The
river flows on its lordly course through
the rocks of the Laurcntian system,
the Oldest on the globe, and it receives
as its affiuent the dark wild waters of
the Saguenay.
